What Is Technical Design & Specification?
Technical design and specification is the stage where we take the lighting concept and define exactly how it will be delivered. This includes precise placement, dimensions, wiring, product selection, and all the technical details needed for a successful installation.
It ensures that every lighting element works as intended, from beam angles and brightness to fixture type and mounting. By translating creative ideas into technical plans, we make sure that the lighting not only looks beautiful but also functions efficiently and meets all safety and building requirements.
Turning Lighting Ideas into Precise, Practical Plans
At StudioEG, Technical Design & Specification is where your lighting concept becomes a fully realised plan that can be installed with confidence. While the concept defines the look and feel of a space, technical design ensures that every detail is practical, safe, and achievable, while still delivering the atmosphere and experience intended.
Our goal is to bridge creativity and practicality, giving contractors, architects, and clients a clear, actionable plan that makes installation smooth and predictable, avoiding mistakes or unnecessary delays.
How We Approach Technical Design & Specification
Our process is thorough but straightforward. We start by reviewing the approved lighting concept and the architectural plans in detail. Every fixture, control system, and layout is carefully considered to ensure it integrates seamlessly with the space and the wider design.
​
We produce detailed drawings, specifications, and documentation that contractors can follow precisely. This includes information on fixture types, locations, power requirements, beam angles, finishes, and mounting methods. By resolving these details early, we prevent common installation issues, reduce errors, and ensure that the final result matches the original vision.
​
Throughout the process, we remain collaborative, liaising with architects, interior designers, and contractors to coordinate details and adapt to any on-site challenges. The goal is a smooth transition from concept to completion, with a lighting design that looks and works exactly as intended.

Why Technical Design & Specification Matters
Even the best lighting concept can fail without careful technical planning. Technical design ensures that the lighting is functional, safe, and installed exactly as intended. It reduces the risk of delays, miscommunication, or costly mistakes during installation.
​
By investing in precise technical planning, clients can be confident that the final space will feel as carefully considered and beautiful as the original concept, while also performing reliably for years to come.
